consider the vast surface Of the terri

q season will DO so favorable as to re.

There has been little or NO damage
from hail or other disastrous storms,
and no reports Of ravages by chinch

condition of the crops to be the best

Comparing the condition of the crops

of the west and northwest, there is
every reason why the people of the
territory are to be congratulated.

One day during the encamptnent the
managing editor, says the Honsten

Composing room he requested him to
take notes Of u company drill, and this
is the way he did it:
Prom pity at 4 o'clock the company
marched upon the ground and were

they called slug one they untixed bay

being a three-em space between some

had got a pricc-and-a-half table off the

they had struck four columns of figures
and words, and put III periods when
they should only have used a comma in
making time around the drill grounds.
When the assistant foreman was or

made a serious error, having only a plea

We at u loss to define the mean
ing of the appeal made by the Oelrichs
Times to the STAR some two weeks ago
in reference to a bond fight, hence our
reticence in speaking upon any sub
ject we are not fully acquainted with;
we have had nothing whatever to do
with the dispute in question, and as it
is confined to a very few, we have no
desire to mix in. by request from a
prominent citizen from Oelrichs, we
agreed to abstain from any newspaper
controversy or incite any strife or ha-
tired between any parties or localities.
We have conducted a newspaper in
Fall River County for nearly a year
and a half and we can tru6hfully say
that we have done so wholly in the in
terests of the county regardless of per-
ons or factions, and it is not our de.
sire at this late day to agltate an old
ranking silly and nonsensical jealousy
which exists only in a marrow contract
ed brain. As far as the legitimacy Of
the election for bonds is concerned we
have nothing to do, but presume that
justice will be reached in the case at
all events by fair minded men. If
the Law decides that the county seat is
not entitled to a court house and jail
we, as we'll as all square dealing citi-
zens will be satisfied with the result.
But for fear the bonds might 60 through
and Oelrichs be indefinitely delayed in
gobbling the Co. seat, to guard against
the disastrous effects to its citizens,
perhaps the political Mainspyiny(?) at
Oelrichs might advise the next iegis-
lature to appropriate a sum sufficient
to erect a lunatic asylum at that
place.

money he has spent for his tobacco than
the rich man who spends thousands of dol
lars in sending his boys to college to learn
boat rowing and base ball playing. The
indicted tobacco users will wind up their
defense with the general argument that
instead OF causing useless consumption of
money the tobacco habit is only the means
of keeping great deal of money in circula-
ton and of giving employment to great
many people who might otherwise be out
of employment; and that if luXures are to

common basis which would bring living
down to bread and water diet and our

world has gotten too far away from these

Our best philosophy is to take the world as
we find it and not as we would have it, and
to allow every individual the fullest liberty

DIR. M,GLYNN,S TOUR.

DR.. EDWARD MCGLYNN, the New York
priest who became so well known through
his connection with the HENRY GEORGE
campaign. and who consequently was de-
posed from his prlestly office by the eccle-
Siastical authorities, is about to start out on
lecturing tour and will visit the West,
taking in the Twin Cities on his tour.
While DR.. MCGLYNN will meet with the
unusual sympathy which his sincerely and
earnestnesS, however misguided it may have
been, deserves, he will find that the general
sentiment in the West is opposed to the
close connection between religion and pol
itics of which DR.. MCGLYNN seems to
have been the advocate. He will find a
general conviction that his punishment has
been to severe, and he will doubtless be
grattied by the ready admiration which will
be accorded his great ability. But more than
all, DR.. MCGLYNN will find but little assent
to the peculiar doctrines regarding the own
ership of land of which he, with HENRY
GEORGE, is an advocate. The West is not
yet crowded enough to find the individual
ownership of land burden. In fact she
will undertake to provide any man who is
willing and industrious, with land enough
for him to make living out of almost free
of charge. That is about the nearest pos
sble approach to community in land OWN
ership that can exist in this country. But
Dr. MCGLYNN will be granted cordial
hearing, and if he is not able to teach his
audiences anything he may learn from con-
tact with them ands from observation
throughout the broad West, new ideas that
